I can't imagine how many people a king like David could possibly have rising against him. Could it have been hundreds of thousands coming at him from all sides? What was the content of their opposition that struck most deeply in David as expressed here? It was what they had to say about his innermost part. He could likely overlook all other slander, but these words struck him deep. No doubt he would have been tempted to look inward for moral justification of his own soul before his foes, but we see David looking away to God first. He trusts that salvation for his soul is in the Lords hands and rests in his Kings dominion. His King is the King of kings who is personal and near, who sustains him physically, who dispels the fear of man, and who will be an avenger of all his enemies. Praise God!
